A recent bandit raid in Kurechin Giye village of Makera Ward in Dutsinma Local Government Area of Katsina State reportedly resulted in the abduction of thirteen individuals, including twelve married women and one man.
In the course of the incursion, the criminals absconded with assets valued at millions of naira owned by the inhabitants.
A resident, preferring to remain anonymous, informed Channels Television that the marauders, armed with perilous and advanced weaponry, stormed the village late on Monday.
While the government and other security agencies in the state have not addressed the matter, the resident noted that throughout the prolonged assault, which endured for hours, there was no security intervention or backup.
